2024 has been a golden year for Solidarietà Veneto, which in 12 months has added almost 10 thousand members, bringing the total number of members to 162 thousand, an increase of +8.8% (better than the Italian average, at +5.7%) and companies over the 19 thousand mark. At the milestone of 35 years of activity, the regional fund - established in 1990, the first at a territorial level in Italy, promoted and administered by representatives of workers (Cisl and Uil) and employers (Confindustria, Confapi, Confartigianato, Cna, Casartigiani and Federclaai) - confirms itself as by far the most widespread form of supplementary pension in the seven provinces. The dynamic is fuelled by new memberships, which represent the best result ever (excluding 2007 when the silence-consent rule came into force), in addition to 'contractual' memberships in the craft sector.
The leap is driven by young people, confirming the trend of recent years: from 2020 to 2024, almost 13,000 under-30s chose Solidarietà Veneto as their first job. But the patrol of children and young people with an average age of 11, enrolled by mothers and fathers, is also growing. Last year there were 778 tax dependents for whom a position was opened. This means that parents are now concerned about their children's pensions. A sensitivity that particularly characterises mothers. In fact, in the lead for this type of payment is the Belluno area, where the many employees of eyewear companies have chosen to support the pension position of their still young children.
The result is a general lowering of the average age of members, which is currently under 44 (47 is the national average): almost a quarter are in fact under 35 (24.67%).
In general, the positive trend in memberships is confirmed across the board and is also attributable to the
widespread dissemination of the network of counters, 150 in number, set up in cooperation with trade unions and employers, plus other company infopoints providing advice. Decisive is the blanket communication, which will soon also be taken to high schools, to make inroads with students, future workers.
